cura slicing issue

Recommended Posts

so im trying to print a part for a friend, but the part that is supposed to be solid is considered a hollow nothing by cura, and the part that should be just a hole is being seen as an internal part of the print when in layer view for some reason, whats wrong? i tried putting it through netfabb but all netfabb did was close the hole in the middle and make the entire thing a solid part

check the xray view, and you will probably see some red walls... and that means back to the drawing program (SketchUp??) and redo the walls shown in red. Red means that there are sufaces that are not closed/single, are not a solid.

The goal of this contest is to design a set of people figurines that could be used in such a project to make an area, office or mall seem populated.
Think of different types of people in different environments, like walking people, people standing still, working people, and both men and women.

This is a statement that’s often made about AM/3DP. I'll focus on the way DfAM can take advantage of some of the unique capabilities that AM and 3DP have to offer. I personally think that the use of AM/3DP for light-weighting is one of it’s most exciting possibilities and one that could play a key part in the sustainability of design and manufacturing in the future.
